The Rumours Thread

[Dragonslayer]

Any chance we could draw him to Dragons you reckon?
He would look great on the wing in the red v.

Parra dont have a fullback so i guess there's your answer

Gutho should 100% be their fullback. If they didn't have injuries he would be back there.

 

[Gareth67]

I totally agree. They do it for the tv ratings but surely once or so a year they can think about the spectators and families and not their pockets!

Yes it's all about the ratings , however as you have said Crush they could had made the exception , more so on their ' stand alone ' weekend , a wasted opportunity in getting the really big crowds back to the games .

Who is injured TRR? Is French out too?

 

[2010]

Holmes wants to play fullback. I don't blame him if he leaves the sharpies

 

[Gareth67]

If the Valentine Holmes rumour is true , one must wonder why it is that so many promising and skilled players leave Cronulla . I get the impression that you need to be - ' a round peg that fits into a square hole ' to really have any sort of future there .

Spot on. Now they will have Gallen and Woods in the same team. Cedric Lee is also going to Newcastle’

Panthers have released, effective immediately, Tom Eisenhuth who is a 2nd rowerand Oliver Clark who is a young prop (190cm, 106kg).

Young Clarke would be good signing IMO as we are short a prop and would be on the cheap side. With LAM moving on, Kerr not really delivering on his promise and Allgood seemingly injured a lot he would be a good backup.

I wouldn’t mind picking up Peni Terepo from the Eels. Good leg drive, strong carry and a tackle hungry machine who goes looking for work.

Hastings has been released by Manly.

Looking a England it was reported.
DCE claims another scalp.

Clarke is off to the Tigers

Clarke is off to the Tigers

It seems that the Tigers have employed the same CAP accountant as the Rorters.
There has been an endless procession of players heading over there since Fudge Packer went over.

He’s who I’d like to see signed too.

Certainly has OKB1 , but surely their book worms follow the cap guidelines as all clubs do ( ). The question is - which has already been asked before on numerous occasions - is just how much money were their big 3 on ? There would had been some financial relief when Farah left the Tigers , not much but enough to give them some breathing space .

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

If there one thing this whole farce of Woods, Foran, Farah, Morris’s should have taught clubs it’s that back ended deals are not to be done.

With 3 days (really 2) it appears to me our squad of 30 will be completed by promoting one of our development players.
My guess that would either be Jackson Ford or Joe Lovodua.

Any signing beyond June 30 would obviously be aimed at 2019 and there has been some interesting names thrown around, especially dealing with LAM's replacement.

These are our list of off-contract players (and those I would re-sign)
Leeson Ah Mau (gone), Mitchell Allgood (No), Reuben Garrick (possible), Patrick Herbert (Yes), Jeremy Latimore (Yes), Jason Nightingale (Thanks for the memories Gypsy), Jordan Pereira (Yes, unless he wants to go home), Hame Sele (Yes).

So, this leaves us with 3 to maybe 5 to sign for 2019. But definitely 2 props.

Of course it wouldn't include those who may get poached to other clubs like Herbert and Sele, chasing their opportunity.

The stocks for off-contract props is very thin, I mean very thin with either old props at the end of their careers, young props starting out or perennial reserve graders. So imperative we retain Latimore (1 more yr) and Sele (yeah he's more a lock) and look to Lawrie to step up and even Kerr to extract his digit and start to do something. ​

 

[Brutalitops]

Lol can you just imagine if we had got Des?

Maybe re-signing Mary early was a better result than the alternative. Remember at that point, the rumours pointed towards Des Hasler to Dragons, but when Mary started 2017 well, we signed him, and that left Des to re-sign with the Dogs after we were off the table

I don't care if we crashed under Mary or not last year. I would rather than happen than Des get the chance to leave us in the state he left Manly and Bulldogs

Dragonslayer
Sele has been approached by both sharks and dogs .
Herbert by warriors .
We are trying to retain both.
Agree with lats for one more year.
He has surprised me he is going great.
Pereira is having a great year leading try scorer and meter eater.
But he is 26 so mybe he will head back to qld.
I will try to find out if we are keeping him.
Garrick mybe
